How Variable Your Brain Is Could Indicate Your Intelligence

The more variable a brain is, the higher a person’s IQ and creativity are, a study has found. Asian Scientist Newsroom | July 27, 2016 | In the Lab AsianScientist (Jul. 27, 2016) – Researchers in China and the UK have attempted to define and measure human intelligence and discover how intellect works. The research team, which includes researchers from Fudan University, quantified the brain’s dynamic functions and identified how different parts of the brain interact with each other at different times. The work was published in Brain. Using resting-state magnetic resonance imaging analysis on thousands of people’s brains around the world, the research has found that the areas of the brain that are associated with learning and development show high levels of variability, meaning that they change their neural…
